I haven't been online for a couple of days, and since I'm not clairvoyant, I have no idea which thread you are talking about.If there was such a thread that contained proof of Tea Party groups being singled out for 'audits' by the IRS, then why can't you just post a link to it or at the very least give the title?You can't, because it never happened, and once again you have proven that you are the one guilty of being a liar and that's why you always project that accusation onto others.If the evidence fell on her empty head and gave her a concussion, she'd still deny it existed. Don't worry about government being oppressive, insists Obama. That's just a conservative myth! Which is essentially the opposite of our central Founding Principle.As chairman of the House Homeland Security oversight subcommittee, [Jeff] Duncan (R-S.C.) toured a federal law enforcement facility in late May and noticed agents training with the semi-automatic weapons at a firing range. They identified themselves as IRS, he said. “When I left there, it’s been bugging me for weeks now, why IRS agents are training with a semi-automatic rifle AR-15, which has stand-off capability,” Duncan told POLITICO. “Are Americans that much of a target that you need that kind of capability..? “I think Americans raise eyebrows when you tell them that IRS agents are training with a type of weapon that has stand-off capability. It’s not like they’re carrying a sidearm and they knock on someone’s door and say, ‘You’re evading your taxes,’” Duncan said.A bureaucracy is bad. A politicized bureaucracy is worse. A paramilitary politicized bureaucracy is nuts. And, in fact, evil. There is no reason in a civilized society why the Deputy Assistant Commissioner of Paperwork should have his own Seal Team Six.... in the developed world, the paramilitarized bureaucracy is uniquely American. This is the only G7 government whose education minister has his own SWAT team — for policing student-loan compliance. The other day, the Gibson guitar company settled with the feds over an arcane infraction of a law on rare-wood importation — after their factories were twice raided by “agents” bearing automatic weapons. Like the man said, don’t bring a knife to a guitar fight. Do musical-instrument manufacturers have a particular reputation for violence?The Gibson raid looks a little different in light of recent revelations.http://www.nationalr...r-15-mark-steyn
